Hi there.

I'm Erfan - a full-stack Magento developer and consultant living in Perth, Australia. I'm the organiser of Western Australia's Magento meetup and at the moment I'm working at SPEQS, a startup that will revolutionise how people buy eyewear online.

A lot of times I’ve found the need to create a “Shop” page that shows the root category as an anchor (with layered navigation, for example). There are also a couple questions floating around on Stackexchange about how to have root categories be shown like normal categories.
By default Magento won’t show...
